Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 468: Kicked Out

At the Gu Family villa, Gu Zheng returned home and looked at Li Yulan sitting on the sofa. His normally calm eyes were now covered with a barely noticeable layer of coldness.

This bitch, I just didn’t come home one night, and she couldn’t help but have a secret meeting with Xiang Bei.

"Master, you’re back."

The butler saw him come in and immediately went up to take the coat from his hand and hung it on the clothes rack not far away.

Li Yulan turned her head and stood up when she saw Gu Zheng returning: "You’re back, honey. You must be tired, huh? Why have you been coming home so late lately? Is there something wrong at the company?"

Xiang Bei told me not to provoke Gu Zheng during this period. Gu Zheng seems to have discovered something, and the informant planted in the Gujia Company has not reported anything to me in a long time.

I was just thinking of finding a...

Gu Zheng said lightly: "Some minor issues with the company’s projects, but they’ve been resolved. I won’t be coming home late in a few days."

Upon hearing this, Li Yulan went over to help Gu Zheng sit on the sofa, holding his arm, "Don’t overwork yourself, we’re at this age now. If the company encounters something non-critical, leave it to Xiao Li and the others to manage! They’ve been with you for so many years, you can always rely on them."

Gu Zheng sneered inwardly, fully aware of Li Yulan’s schemes, but it was not yet time to confront her. He merely responded nonchalantly: "If only I had a son like Ling Tianyou, I wouldn’t be so exhausted at this age."

Li Yulan’s expression shifted slightly, recognizing Gu Zheng’s subtle veiled criticism of her poor parenting.

After pausing a moment, Li Yulan forced a smile: "Don’t dwell on it, dear. Maybe we should spend some money to find help, perhaps we could get Xiao Heng out a few years earlier. We’ll discipline him more, and I believe after this incident, he’ll certainly change."

Gu Zheng was indifferent about this, "How’s Wanwan? Have you gone to see her again?"

Li Yulan was momentarily stunned, her gaze somewhat evasive: "There have been quite a few things at home these past two days. With Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, I need to prepare gifts for the elders of both families. I intended to go this afternoon, but I ended up being busy until now; I’ll go tomorrow!"

Gu Zheng mentioned getting a nurse for Gu Wanwan before; after the nurse went to the hospital, I never went again myself.

Coincidentally, Gu Zheng didn’t come home that night either, giving me and Xiang Bei a perfect chance for a night of passion.

But it’s okay, once Gu Ningyue brings Ling Tianyou home, all this will be over.

"No need, I happen to be passing by the hospital tomorrow, I’ll go!" Gu Zheng moved his somewhat tired arm, "Have you delivered the Mid-Autumn gifts to all the families?"

Li Yulan responded, "Besides the family of Ning Yue’s grandfather, everything’s been delivered."

After Gu Ningyue’s mother passed, her grandfather’s family moved away from A City back to their hometown, and they haven’t been in contact with Gu Zheng since.

Clearly, this old man is holding a grudge against me.

Gu Zheng didn’t say anything, just nodded slightly, and the subject was dropped.

It’s been many years, this old man doesn’t even want his granddaughter. When it comes to being ruthless, he seems to be the better one.

Poor Gu Ningyue, she used to cry all the time for her grandfather.

Until she went to high school, Gu Ningyue gradually stopped mentioning it.

I used to worry that once Gu Ningyue got together with Ling Tianyou, she would tell the old man everything that happened at the Gu Family.

Now, I suppose it doesn’t matter anymore.

With Ling Tianyou as support, Gu Ningyue seems to have given up hope on her indifferent grandfather. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

That’s better, less trouble for me.

"By the way, Ning Yue and Ling Tianyou are coming back for dinner in a few days. Control your temper," Gu Zheng looked at Li Yulan: "Tell the kitchen to prepare some dishes Ning Yue likes."

Li Yulan’s expression changed slightly: "Ning Yue is coming back with Ling Tianyou?"

This little bitch, coming back for what? To show off on purpose?

Gu Zheng has been with Li Yulan for so many years, how could he not know what she’s thinking? He glanced at her indifferently: "I told Ning Yue to come back. She’s been away for over half a year. Other than a short stay at home, she hasn’t come back much."

Even during the time she stayed, it wasn’t pleasant.

Gu Zheng is well aware of these things.

If not for the chaos at home, maybe I wouldn’t have asked Gu Ningyue to come back.

"Ning Yue and Ling Tianyou are so loving, even if you called her back, it’s not like she’d be willing," Li Yulan internally rolled her eyes, completely dismissing Gu Zheng’s gesture, but her tone softened further: "Honey. Maybe let’s forget it."

Gu Zheng turned to look at her, his gaze cold, unmasked: "Ning Yue is my only daughter now. If you can make Wanwan return to normal, I’ll call off this family dinner, what do you say?"

Li Yulan shut her mouth completely, getting Gu Wanwan back to normal is less likely than letting Gu Heng escape prison.

At least Gu Heng is a normal person.

Who knows what sins I must’ve committed in a past life; finally raising a daughter, only to end up like this.

Gu Zheng sneered as he stood up to look at the servants who had already set the meal, then turned to Li Yulan: "I’m going to eat, you can watch TV."

Li Yulan nodded slightly without saying anything, her heart like a mixed bag.

Why on earth would Gu Zheng suddenly call Gu Ningyue back? Could it be to... no, impossible!

Gu Zheng hates Gu Ningyue that much, how could he just hand over the Gu Family’s assets to her?

No, absolutely impossible!

Even though the answer was clear in her mind, the uneasiness compelled her to send a message to that familiar number.

A few minutes later, a message popped up on her phone screen, the remark being 10086.

"Play it by ear, there’s already a problem within the Gujia Company. News suddenly came in today, I have a plan, don’t worry."

Seeing Xiang Bei’s message, Li Yulan’s right eye couldn’t help but twitch.

"Suddenly came a message? Why couldn’t I reach you before? Did you ask?"

Soon, Xiang Bei replied: "He was sent out on a business trip, his phone and computer were stolen. Only managed to return to the company this morning."

Li Yulan didn’t believe it, wanting Xiang Bei to investigate further. But considering he’s the only informant left while all others have inexplicably been reassigned or dismissed, there was no way to probe further.

Warning Xiang Bei to be extremely cautious in his actions, Li Yulan then deleted Xiang Bei’s sent message.

If Gu Zheng saw these, perhaps this time I’d truly be kicked out!
